Resize UITableViewCell containing UITextView upon typing

Question

I have an UITableViewController that contains a custom cell. Each cell was created using a nib and contains a single non-scrollable UITextView. I have added constraints insi

Answer 1

Using Swift 2.2 (earlier versions would likely work too), if you set the TableView to use auto dimensions (assuming you're working in a subclassed UITableViewController, like so:

    self.tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension
    self.tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 50 // or something

You just need to implement the delegate in this file, UITextViewDelegate, and add the below function, and it should work. Just remember to set your textView's delegate to self (so, perhaps after you've dequeued the cell, cell.myTextView.delegate = self)

func textViewDidChange(textView: UITextView) {
    self.tableView.beginUpdates()
    textView.frame = CGRectMake(textView.frame.minX, textView.frame.minY, textView.frame.width, textView.contentSize.height + 40)
    self.tableView.endUpdates()
}
